The short version

WHAT

Water may enter the trunk wiring harness, potentially causing the brake light to remain illuminated even when the brakes are not applied.

WHY IT MATTERS

If the brake light remains illuminated when the brakes are not applied, a vehicle behind the motorcycle may not know when the motorcycle is actually slowing, increasing the risk of a crash.

WHAT TO DO

Indian will notify owners, and dealers will replace the trunk wiring harness with an updated harness that contains sealing plugs in the connectors, free of charge.
